IBS will deploy its iCargo solution to completely digitalise MSC’s air cargo operations
IBS Software, a global provider of SaaS solutions to the travel and cargo industry, has been selected by the air cargo unit of MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company, as a strategic partner in a bid to digitally transform its air cargo operations.
iCargo, the Software as a Service solution for air cargo management from IBS Software, will install a true digital platform that covers cargo sales, operations, cargo accounting and portal for MSC.
Once fully implemented, iCargo will enable MSC to have full visibility of its air cargo value chain, covering sales, operations and accounting, while also gaining insights for continuous business improvement, a press communiqué stated.
The partnership enables IBS Software to deploy iCargo for a company that is already the world’s largest container carrier, and which is now growing its MSC Air Cargo unit, as a complementary business to its core ocean shipping solution.
Seamless operations
This is an important step toward achieving seamless operations across multi-modal logistics models, increased efficiency and the productivity to power rapid global trade and growth IBS Software has long advocated for, the press statement continued.
“We see great potential in IBS Software’s capabilities and solutions, through which we expect to harness the power of digitalisation to help achieve MSC Air Cargo’s objectives,” affirmed Jannie Davel, Senior Vice President, MSC Air Cargo.
“We’re confident the iCargo solution and the team that continuously innovates our products will take MSC’s multi-modal business model to new heights,” remarked Ashok Rajan, Head of Cargo & Logistics Solutions, IBS Software.
